Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and at the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and low fever in children.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
